Matomo (Piwik) is an open platform. Being a platform has the advantage that Matomo can be extended and customised using Plugins. By default Matomo comes with 40+ plugins which are officially maintained by the core team.

Since the release of Matomo (Piwik) 2.0 and the launch of the Matomo Marketplace, the Matomo developer community at large is now also building plugins that let you do more with Matomo! You can find all these plugins on the Marketplace.

Besides those Plugins that we bundle with the Matomo (Piwik) Platform, and besides those Plugins available on the Marketplace, there are also other kinds of Extensions (or sometimes called Add-ons or Modules or Plugins) that may be useful to you. These modules help you integrate Matomo into your Website. There are such modules for most of the popular tools:

We have exciting plans for the Matomo (Piwik) platform, stay tuned, and keep your feedback coming!

Matomo (Piwik) is a platform which you can extend and customise to your needs with Plugins. To get started installing a plugin, login as a Super User. In the top menu, click “Administration”. In the left menu click “Marketplace”. There are a few ways to install a plugin in Matomo:

Install a new plugin using the Marketplace: on the Marketplace page you can browse existing plugins, if you want to install one of those plugins, click on “Install” button.

Upload a Plugin ZIP file to Matomo (Piwik): if you were given the ZIP file of a plugin, you will need to upload it to Matomo. To do so, login to Matomo as a Super User, click on Settings and then on the “Marketplace” page, click on “upload a zip file”. Note: the first time you want to upload a custom plugin you will activate this feature once by editing your config/config.ini.php file and below the category [General] add: enable_plugin_upload=1.

Install a new plugin manually: this last technique only works if you have direct access to the Matomo (Piwik) server. Uncompress the Plugin zip file that you wish to install in Matomo. This should create a directory with the name of the plugin. Copy this uncompressed folder into your server in the directory path/to/piwik/plugins/.

By default, when you install a plugin it is not activated. To activate a plugin, go to the “Plugins” page in Administration and click “Activate” next to the plugin name.

The Matomo (Piwik) Marketplace is an open Marketplace for Matomo plugins. It is a place where companies, developers and enthusiasts can freely share with everyone their Matomo plugins. The Marketplace is not controlled by a private entity and plugins don’t have to be pre-approved to be displayed: the Matomo Marketplace is open. Of course there are rules that Plugins developers must follow to publish their plugins in the Marketplace.

In other words: the Matomo (Piwik) Marketplace is the equivalent for Matomo to what Google Play is to Android phones, or what App Store is to Apple iOS devices.

If the Plugin you wish to report a bug for does not have information on how to ask for Support, we recommend to create an issue in the Github issue tracker for this plugin. To find the Github issues tracker, open the Plugin page on the Matomo (Piwik) Marketplace, click on the “Github” link, and then click on “Issues”.

Plugins maintained by Matomo (Piwik) and plugins by InnoCraft are compatible for sure with the latest Matomo version. For all other 3rd party plugins we recommend to go to the Matomo Marketplace, click on a Plugin and then check in the bottom part where it says “Requirements” whether this plugin is compatible with the latest Matomo.

If the plugin is compatible with the latest Matomo (Piwik), it will be likely updated to the latest compatible version automatically.

If the plugin is not compatible, it will be deactivated during the process; or if the plugin has not specified its compatibility correctly, our ‘Safe mode’ might be displayed, letting you disable the incompatible plugin to make Matomo (Piwik) work again.

If you experience any issue with a third party plugin, we recommend to contact the plugin maintainer.

To find which third-party plugins you are using, log in to Matomo (Piwik), go to Administration => Plugins and click on the link “Third-party”.
